Asby,
Thanks for thinking of me. I was a kid in the 70's, but there weren't any S&T's lying around my house. I'm interested in seeing this sketch artist's work, so please post a link if you can find one. 
I don't know how much time you spend in CN's Sketching Forum, but we have some world class astro-sketchers who post there regularly. Several of them have recently published a book: Astronomical Sketching: A Step by Step Introduction
I'd like to encourage you and anyone reading this to visit the Sketching Forum at least once a week. Not only will you see some extraordinary sketches, but you may learn a thing or two about visual observing. Drawing your observations can seriously enhance your observing skills, and anyone can do it.

I am new to the forum, actually. I also did a search for that guy on S&T's web site, but to no avail. (I cannot remember his name, so it's hard to search. I typed in his scope, I remember that much...but got no hits.  )
His name is on the edge of my tongue...gimme a few days for it to roll off. LOL
Okay, I'll check out the sketches.

It would seem that some of you are under the impression that my entire sketch is of M31/32/110. I guess I didn't include enough information.
I didn't find your information confusing in the least. It is quite clear what the object(s) you sketched are/were. I just don't understand the so-called confusion at all.

My apologies for the confusion.
Jason, there's no need to apologize. You had it written very clearly at the bottom of your sketch.
Sometimes I think we spend so much time training our eyes to see details in the sky that we dismiss the details right in front of us on the computer screen. 
You packed a lot of information in collage of sketches with your entry. Well done.

Are you thinking of John Mallas?
